A realistic take from the Middlesbrough Gazette reporter....just about sums is up:

Snippets:

"And it was easy for Warnock’s side. They were better in every department: faster, bigger, stronger, more organised, more potent, hungrier... Boro were bullied by exactly the kind of team they now aspire to be".

"Anyone who has doubted that as Boro have laboured through scrappy games in recent weeks should take a look at the way Cardiff minced Middlesbrough at a canter".

"...a comprehensive defeat by a better model of the same style showed exactly how far Boro are short of the team they aspire to be".

An excellent display from the Bluebirds....a return to form at just the right time :thumbup:

That's fair

"They were schooled". :thumbup:

They were very poor. Adama Traore aside, they offered very little. Saying that, we didn't let them. I liked Damour's little cameo.

we did what we had to do and did it very well

upto 2nd, If only we did not have that bad spell, we would have Wolves worried
